We are crossing Europe, Asia and the Middle East, over mountains and rivers. Through valleys and ravines, cities and farmland we will be in a car completely unsuited for highway traffic, much less off-road excursions. Nevertheless, we are off on July 19th from Hyde Park in London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
To top it off, team Mongoliza Rice is set to collect more than a thousand Pounds for two Mongolian charities, CAMDA, which provides support for rural farmers facing three years of drought. Farming and livestock are one of the only sources of sustenance for many living in Mongolia. Our second charity, Mongolia Mercy Corps helps provide training and assistance to locals, which will benefit them in working with local and national governmental structures and develop non-profit organizations within Mongolia, run by Mongolians.
After we raise 1000 quid, we hope to keep on it, so donate.

State of emergency

If anyone has been watching the news or paying attention to the foreign press you may have noticed that Mongolia has declared a state of emergency. The elections there are being hotly contested and people are rising up against their government. However, it seems to be calming. My friend from Cairo Ian Johnson is in Mongolia now and apparently the government has banned the sale of alcohol and instated a 9pm curfew. However, the area is not dangerous now for foreigners, and it will likely be business as usual by the time we arrive. Now, if anyone knows me well, you know I am deeply saddened that I could not be in Mongolia for the election protests. But, if you worry about me at all, don't, because I won't make it there in time... |
